Original Tribute to The Heath Brothers | Hard Bop Legacy, Strata-East Classics & Soul-Jazz Grooves

Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato all'eleganza, al sound inconfondibile e all'eredità musicale dei The Heath Brothers (Jimmy, Percy e Albert "Tootie" Heath).

Pilastri fondamentali dell'Hard Bop, dello Spiritual Jazz e della celebre etichetta Strata-East, i fratelli Heath hanno segnato la storia della musica afroamericana con composizioni raffinate, interplay impeccabile e groove senza tempo. In quest'ora ripercorriamo i loro capolavori più iconici: dall'immortale "Smilin' Billy Suite" e la profonda "The Watergate Blues" al fianco di Stanley Cowell, alle raffinate "Mellowdrama" e "A Sound for Sore Ears". Spazio anche al soul-jazz travolgente di "For The Public", "Project 'S'", "Dreamin'" e "Light Of Love", fino alle vette liriche di "Warm Valley", "Gingerbread Boy" e ai tributi bop a Charlie Parker con "Yardbird Suite" e "Confirmation".

Un viaggio straordinario tra spiritualità, classe e grande tradizione jazzistica.

Welcome to a brand new edition of Original Tribute, celebrating the elegance, signature sound, and musical legacy of The Heath Brothers (Jimmy, Percy, and Albert "Tootie" Heath).

Cornerstone figures of Hard Bop, Spiritual Jazz, and the legendary Strata-East label, the Heath brothers defined an era with sophisticated compositions, flawless interplay, and timeless grooves.

We also feature infectious soul-jazz tracks including "For The Public", "Project 'S'", "Dreamin'", and "Light Of Love", leading into rich ballads like "Warm Valley", "Gingerbread Boy", and high-energy bop classics "Yardbird Suite" and "Confirmation".
